Hi, what power boiler do I need?

[dan287]

Hi All, I have just joined having not brewed for a while. Made a Sumer brew a couple of weeks ago and struggled to boil in my old 5gallon Bruheat boiler. Is a 1500W 35l boiler likely to be suitable?

1500w might be on the low side - your average kettle is 2.4kw....

And most DIY boilers tend to use two of them.
